With pre-season less than a week away it the heart good when a surprise phone call came in from a very trusted source with some very good news. The source has been around the program for awhile and has been very accurate with everything he has ever said.

The word is this is the hungriest bunch of Bruins since the Coach Karl Dorrell regime.

It appears that the first layer of Dorrell's foundation is solidly in place. This will be the first year that there is solid depth across the board.

The players are working their tails off this off-season and never looked better.

Strength and conditioning coach Doc Kreis has done an outstanding job getting these kids in shape.

Not only are they getting in shape but the team's attitude is at an all-time high.
